Tending Roses
Life is,
like,
tending roses.
Lost in the
moment
of joy.
Happiness within myself
seeing a
bud
that's opening into a
new bloom.
Remembering
the nurturing given
to help a new start.
Sorrowfully, seeing
a fading bloom
lamenting
the withering
remembering its grandeur.
Life is,
like,
tendering roses.
Thoughts interrupted
by a
thorn
piercing my hand
as life's pain pierces
my heart,
as a reminder
to be
ever warry.
